No reviews? Really? I'll make a short one then.

It's Pokemon! Yeah the previous seasons were.. meh but this set Pokemon on the right path, the episodes all have a decent plot and Ash actually shows he has some experience under his belt for the first time in awhile. And Pikachu is still pretty good for a pokemon that jumps from level 5 to 80 then back to 5 at the start of every season. This re-kindled my love for Pokemon :3 Very nice watch!

Mixed Feelings

These episodes are fillers with some lore.

Only Reshiram is discussed. No Kyurem. No Zekrom.

N is a boring character. His game version has more to say.

The exact story from games is not adapted here.

They should've used the time and money from next season and used it here. The whole Zekrom vs. Reshiram thing can be explored more.

... Very few episodes are focussed on N and Reshiram, and most of the episodes are fillers.

Nothing of interest happens here. Fillers are better than the N related episodes.

Dialogues and acting in the Japanese version is better than the English version

Not Recommended

Pros:
- anime finnaly showcases Team Pllasma storyline,
- N character finnaly shows up in the story of this anime generation
- there are few ineteresting battles,
- some old pokemon return to the main cast,

Cons:
- Team Plasma storyline it's too short, and feels underdeveloped,
- N shows up after 111 episodes in Best Wishes anime,
- the storyline doesn't feel any natural progresion
...
Overoll anime writers have waited far too long with the introduction of Team Plasma in Best Wishes (Generation 5 Pokemon anime), which feels kinda unrewarding for anime fans. When it comes to games the plot with Team Plasma is considered one of the best in Pokemon game. Their motivations, reasons, and build up in Pokemon Black/White, and sequels games, is really well done. It's unfortunate that anime writers didn't felt like adopting an interesting key story elements from the games. This is probably one of the main reasons why this generation feel somewhat unfulfilled.
